My Pentax MX
It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Not quite so compact with the power winder, databack and the shift lens but a classic camera all the same. K.
True, but with them removed and a 40mm f2.8 fitted it's very compact. A classic camera at home with any task!

I know a stripped-down digital version of an MX (or Spotmatic) wouldn't really appeal to many people but it's a tantalising thought.

My second favourite camera after the Spotmatic... K10 is my third favourite. In case anyone is interested.

I think a lot of people on here would go for a digital MX, not fancy auto functions just an old fashioned manual camera with a digital sensor. Shame Pentax don't see a big enough market to make worth their while

I for one would go for a digital MX. i run an istDS in a similar fashion now - manual focus, manual exposure.

The great thing was with the MX is it's compact size, it didn't take up much room, I even carried with me on a cycling trip along the Pryrenees covering the great Tour climbs like the Col d'Aspin, Col d'Aubisque and the monster climb of the Col d'Tourmalet. But it was just as happy photographing the RAC rally in a wet forist in mid November!
